Miley Cyrus lashes out at online haters over drugs accusations

BACK ON TOUR: Miley arrives by boat yesterday for her gig at London's O2 Arena [GETTY]

On the opening night of her UK Bangerz tour pop’s tongue-twister quashed rumours that her recent hospital stay which scuppered the end of her American tour was anything sinister.

Straight-talking Miley, 21, said: “I didn’t have a drug overdose, I took some s****y antibiotics a doctor gave me for a sinus infection and had a reaction.

“You know what made it better was people online saying: ‘You are overdosing on drugs.’ I was feeling s****y and reading s****y comments to feel s****ier.”

After two weeks in hospital Miley was ready to unleash merry hell on UK audiences

“I’m gonna f*** this place up,” she hollered pre-show before promising to play Arctic Monkeys and Coldplay covers.

“People asked me: ‘Maybe audiences are going to be more conservative because you’re in the UK?’ I said: ‘Er no, they’re gonna be like tops off, screaming and having a good time.’ I’m in London, I can do whatever.”

She wasn’t lying. Miley’s show at London’s O2 is gob-smackingly brilliant, the theatrical equivalent of gargling with popping candy while rubbing raw chillis on your eyeballs.

Sliding onto the stage down a giant version of her famous tongue, Miley strutted her stuff to SMS before twerking with little people, frolicking in bed scenes, dancing with animals and flying giant hot dogs in a spectacle that puts Madonna and Michael Jackson’s combined live careers to shame.

But it never distracts from the power and versatility of her voice, returning to her country roots for Do My Thang one minute, then smashing the soul hard with an emotional Wrecking Ball while Kate Moss and Lily Allen admired from the audience.
